KDE SC 4.3.5 is now in karmic-backports.
The Backports repository is not enabled by default, so you may need to enable it in KPackageKit. Instructions for this are found on the help wiki.

When upgrading from 4.3.2 to 4.3.4, some package recommendations have changed, so using dist-upgrade (or full-upgrade in aptitude) may be needed.

The second alpha release of Kubuntu Lucid has been released. KDE, Amarok and much more have received upgrades in this version. See our release page for where to get it, new features and notable problems.

Users of the Lucid development release are advised not to upgrade yet, as the packages are only half-built due to a breakage of the underlying graphics stack. The Ubuntu Xorg team is working fervently to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
